In Reply to: 87, 325e Hissitation Solved. Cracked Dis Cap .. posted by Shahpour on February 12, 2000 at 10:32:55:
: After 4 month of trying finnaly I took the car to the dealer. The cause of hessitation on acceleration was the cracked dist cap. I have used 4 cans of fuel enjictor cleaner, did BG systems and removed carbon deposites that never existed. Changed plugs, fuel filter,....
: LESSON Learned: When you have a drivability problem, you could change everything under the hood and still don't solve the problem so take the car to the dealr and pay $140 for testing. Dealer won't tell you directly what is wrong. they will add to the story, 2 or 3 other things such as you need a valve job, trottel switch and Idel control unit and also a new dist cap. It is now you that have to look to see which one solves your problem. I have got an estimate of $750 from the dealer to change all of the above to solve my hissitation problem but the truth is I needed the dist cap. It was indeed carcked. I changed it and the problem went a way.
